The war in Ukraine may seem unfathomable and unreal to many however, sadly there are historical precedents that should not be forgotten.I talked with investigative intelligence expert, Mario Bekes from Insight Intelligence, about his life on the battlefield fighting for Croatian independence from communist Yugoslavia and how that shaped his views of risk management. He talks of the need to trust your senses, ensure open channels of communication and how important information protection is from a human as well as a cyber perspective.Mario’s three F’s for why companies turn to his commercial intelligence firm will resonate with everyone in the risk space.Mario is not your normal podcast guest, enjoy!For further information and to buy his incredible autobiography, “Blood Soaked Soil” visit www.mariobekes.com.au Send us a textContact ABM Risk Partnership to optimise your risk management approach: email us: info@abmrisk.com.au Tweet us at @4RiskCme Visit our LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/company/18394064/admin/ Thanks for listening to the show and please keep your guest suggestions coming!

In this discussion, Wesley Sierk, Managing Director of Risk Management Advisors, shares his nearly two decades of expertise in captive insurance. He reveals how businesses can revolutionize their risk management strategies through captives, especially in tough markets. The conversation delves into the complex dynamics of workers' compensation, emerging cyber liability trends, and the importance of jurisdiction in insurance setups. Wesley also emphasizes the need for collaborative communication among stakeholders to align risk strategies with organizational goals.

In this episode, I talk about the drivers for organisations to manage risk - and its not just to 'stop bad things happening'!In fact all organisations manage risk - some have a disciplined approach that incorporates risk-based decision making, others are a bit more random in their approach.There are in fact many people still out there, even at Board level, that think risk means only threats. This means that they are only doing half the job - and leaving the organisation exposed to missing opportunities to increase organisation value.I hope you enjoy the episode - as always thoughts and suggestions on topics or guests for the program are always welcome!Send us a textContact ABM Risk Partnership to optimise your risk management approach: email us: info@abmrisk.com.au Tweet us at @4RiskCme Visit our LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/company/18394064/admin/ Thanks for listening to the show and please keep your guest suggestions coming!

This episode is a replay of my discussion with Eamonn in July 2017. I thought it timely as we approach the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 event in New York as Eamonn was very much at the forefront of Westfield's response to the attacks.You may recall that earlier in that year, Westfield had acquired a long term lease from the New York Port Authority over the World Trade Centre sites retail areas so the attacks had deep significance for the Westfield team.The discussion is broader than just the 9/11 attacks as Eamonn shares his wealth of experience as a Chief Risk Officer for a then iconic Australian company.Send us a textContact ABM Risk Partnership to optimise your risk management approach: email us: info@abmrisk.com.au Tweet us at @4RiskCme Visit our LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/company/18394064/admin/ Thanks for listening to the show and please keep your guest suggestions coming!

For a guy that almost dropped out of high school to end up as a planetary physicist and then to move on to advising CEO's and Boards is pretty impressive! My guest Don Schmincke has had an amazing journey getting to where he is today.You'll hear about Don's journey and importantly the studies he has conducted over the years to understand management theory and what works and what doesn't.  Most relevantly, Don has worked with thousands of CEO's to glean actual experiences rather than learning through a pure theoretical approach.Don also opines on the role of the risk manager in the company's strategy setting activities. You'll definitely take something away from this conversation!Don't forget to check out the resources that Don refers to in our chat at the link below:www.sagaleadership.comSend us a textContact ABM Risk Partnership to optimise your risk management approach: email us: info@abmrisk.com.au Tweet us at @4RiskCme Visit our LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/company/18394064/admin/ Thanks for listening to the show and please keep your guest suggestions coming!
